Six of those were on the path and 4.4 of those were around Logro\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elevation gained in flights of stairs equivalence: 14.  Not a lot of up and down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today we walked the short six mile distance between Viana and Logro\u00f1o.  We were out of the hotel in Viana by about 7:20 and in Logro\u00f1o by 10:30.  We are staying here in the big city for two days.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We crossed into La Rioja today. Logro\u00f1o, population 200,000, is the capital of La Rioja.  So, we have left Basque country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have an apartment with a kitchen.  I was going to say &#8220;little apartment&#8221; but it&#8217;s actually quite roomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> We enjoyed going to the nearby grocery store and buying good bread and cheese and tomatoes and a salad kit and made lunch &#8220;at home&#8221;.  We also got food for breakfast in the morning.  Logro\u00f1o is famous for its tapas, but I have a feeling we are going to eat most of our meals in the apartment.  We have such fun going to the grocery store and finding great things to bring home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We did errandy things today like a post office pickup, grocery shopping, laundry.  We are glad to have another day to spend in Logro\u00f1o.  Tomorrow we can tell you more about the city itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c26\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5656.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c26\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5656-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c26\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5656-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c26\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5656-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c26\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5656-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c26\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5656-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c26\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5656-1200x904.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wynchar.com\/c26\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_5656.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The walk was nicer than I expected since I knew we would be walking on the outskirts of Logro\u00f1o.
